Comment on Imec demonstrates electrical yield for 20nm lines High NA EUV single patterningparent

There's no tie to what those terms mean and the actual engineering of the chips.

The "2nm node" is a marketing term to indicate its placement relative to previous iterations and competitors.

The reality is that process nodes are complicated and capturing it with a single number would be a bad idea. You could go for raw transistor density which would be better but it misses a lot of the nuances in design.
